The affiliation of a person to gothic culture is independent of faith,
creed or religion. Goth deal in broad terms with the issue of religion
and draw individual conclusions, which is not a more precise
determination is possible. Some parts of the scene are inclined to
atheism and reject the institutional church, from, for example because
of their misconduct in the course of history entirely.
Some Goths a longing prevails for the origins of the faith and
paganism, which in the course of the Christianization violently
destroyed .The often expresses a desire for their own origins and
roots. It can also have an interest in occult or pagan content (eg to
determine Wicca). This is accompanied by a tendency to syncretism (also

members and youth gangs, which address the issue superficially with
Satanism. Most goths Satan was not a concern. Its architecture and its
peculiarities but sprang from a morbid, sometimes nihilistic dominated
sentiment, which was not the unifying element of the goth scene represents.The principal function of faith content of the Goths,
therefore, as is often claimed in the media, the belief in a God or
Satan but to the death as a supreme power, is subject to any man. This
belief content itself refers to an atheistic attitude.
